- This report covers &os;-related projects between October and - December 2015. This is the last of four reports planned for - 2015.

+

The fourth quarter of 2015 saw a great deal of activity for + &os;. This is now the third quarter running for which I can say + that this is the largest report yet published! Many thanks to the + developers who proactively submitted topics and entries — it + is great to have more complete coverage of ongoing development for + the community to learn about in these reports.

+ +

An experimental new team was formed this quarter to triage + newly-reported bugs and improve the procedures and tooling for + managing bug submissions. Making more effective use of automation + and tooling can help to increase developer productivity and the + quality of &os;, just as the adoption of Jenkins and continual + integration tooling catches regressions quickly and maintains the + high standards for the system.

+ +

Efforts to bring our BSD high standards to new + architectures continue, with impressive work on arm64 leading to + its promotion to Tier-2 status and a flurry of work bringing up + the new RISC-V hardware architecture. Software architecture is + also under active development, including system startup and + service management. A handful of potential init system + replacements are mentioned in this report: launchd, + relaunchd, and nosh. Architectural changes + originating both from academic research (multipath TCP) and from + the realities of industry (sendfile(2) improvements) are + also under way. It is heartening to see how &os; provides a + welcoming platform for contributions from both research and + industry.

+ +

To all the readers, whether from academia or industry, + hobbyist or professional: I hope you are as excited as I am to + read about all of the progress and projects covered in this + report, and the future of &os;!

The fourth quarter of 2015 was another productive quarter for - the &os; project and community. [...]
